“This is an extremely nice watch. I own 5 Seikos, and this is by far a superior watch. Awesome details. Beautiful dial, hands, and indexes. Bracelet is really nice. Though, I wish it had more micro adjusts. 4-6 is always preferred. I highly recommend the entire Islander lineup”
“This is my first Islander. It shan't be my last.
You can't mistake this for anything other than a passion project by watch nuts for watch nuts. Ridiculous value at $300. The dial is stunning in person. The build quality and alignment is excellent. The tapered bracelet wears comfortably and looks great, but IWC threw in drilled lugs for the undeniable strap monster design. Ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, lume galore.
Honestly couldn't be happier with this watch. If you're on the fence and reading this, just trust me here: buy it.”
“So, a MAS62 and a BB58 had a love child and this is it. The watch looks great in the pictures - and even better in person. I have swapped out the bracelet with a Beads of Rice from Uncle Seiko and that combination rocks. It really brings out the 60's dive watch vibe this watch has. I can confirm that SKX bracelets do fit this watch. It's keeping really good time - I'm at -6 seconds/day. I am very pleased with this purchase and it won't be my last.”
“I really like this watch. It looks sharp, it is very comfortable, the clasp feels solid, it shipped with the screw driver needed to adjust the band so it sits very well on my wrist with less then 5 minutes of fiddling, and the value of what you get for $300 is delightful. Sapphire glass, tapered band, nice crown, excellent lume, and that beautiful beautiful dial!
Hard to go wrong here and I struggle to think of another diver in this price range that competes. Love it!”
“my latest Islander-Ryan you did great! the gold highlights, bit of color on the second hand and the pip combined with the texture of the waffle...all comes together very well. I think this is going to be a band monster too! another one out of the park......”
